note that this also applies to ironic LLM-assisted shitposts

I think there should maybe be a little more leeway/amnesty for accounts that aren’t new or don’t have a high rate of LLM tells. IMO if you could self-declare the AI usage and wrap them in <details> tags to handle the verbosity and attribution you could integrate it reaosnably

"Ironic" bad behaviour is still just bad behaviour.

You’re absolutely right

"Bad behavior" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Some would call that load bearing.

Ironic speech is the main way people make jokes. Sure, ironic violence or something like that isn't a thing outside of WWE, but you shouldn't equate all "bad" behaviors.

In the past we could have said that we shouldn't expect an internet forum filter made of regex patterns to detect irony, but with LLM's as viable modding tools, I'm not sure that we shouldn't raise our standards...

What value does an LLM shitposting on your behalf bring to any discussion?

[–] duskdozer 15 hours ago

I always assumed people were writing in LLMese themselves to mock it, not generating it.

To equate irony with whatever is being satirized is blatant BS. If you think coming up with a single example proves a rule, you got it backwards.

Doesn't seem like you are responding to my question.

[–] newsy-combi 19 hours ago

It's irrelevant and I even explained why, just in case you'd be extra slow - yet here you are... Do you hate all LLMs? Do you hate technology? Do you fear change? Answer me. I'm like building a really strong case here!!

Remember that you can vouch for a flagged post.

It won't un-shadowban an account

I always do this when it is flagged incorrectly, but it doesn't usually help much because multiple people have to vouch.
